Imaging performance above 150 keV of the wide field monitor on board the ASTENA concept mission
Lisa Ferro, Leo Cavazzini, Miguel Moita +10
A new detection system for X-/Gamma-ray broad energy passband detectors for astronomy has been developed. This system is based on Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) coupled with scinti…
The TRILL project: increasing the technological readiness of Laue lenses
Lisa Ferro, Enrico Virgilli, Miguel Moita +16
Hard X-/soft Gamma-ray astronomy (> 100 keV) is a crucial field for the study of important astrophysical phenomena such as the 511 keV positron annihilation line in the Galactic ce…
Opening the path to hard X-/soft gamma-ray focussing: the ASTENA-pathfinder mission
Enrico Virgilli, Lorenzo Amati, Natalia Auricchio +10
Hard X-/soft gamma-ray astronomy is a crucial field for transient, nuclear and multimessenger astrophysics. However, the spatial localization, imaging capabilities and sensitivity…
CdTe Spectroscopic-Imager Measurements with Bent Crystals for Broad Band Laue Lenses
N. Auricchio, L. Ferro, J. B. Stephen +15
In astrophysics, several key questions in the hard X soft Gamma-ray range (above 100 keV) require sensitivity and angular resolution that are hardly achievable with current technol…
ASTENA: a mission concept for a deep study of the transient gamma-ray sky and for nuclear astrophysics
E. Virgilli, F. Frontera, P. Rosati +16
Gamma-ray astronomy is a branch whose potential has not yet been fully exploited. The observations of elemental and isotopic abundances in supernova (SN) explosions are key probes…
Laue lenses: Focusing optics for hard X/soft Gamma-ray Astronomy
L Ferro, M. Moita, P. Rosati +15
Hard X-/soft Gamma-ray astronomy is a key field for the study of important astrophysical phenomena such as the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves, gamma-ray bursts…
